Inserting an SD card disabled my ipw2200 and the SD slot

[Rich]

I inserted an SD card with a FAT32 filesystem into my laptop. I expected either pmount to notice and automount the card, or dmesg to notice and let me mount it manually.

Instead, dmesg printed this:
Jun 29 01:24:13 eris kernel: [467645.624000] mmc0: Problem switching card into high-speed mode!
Jun 29 01:24:14 eris kernel: [467645.624000] mmcblk0: mmc0:efa9 SU02G 1985024KiB

Annoyed, I used cfdisk to check the partition table of /dev/mmcblk0 - yes, it saw the partition there and even thought it should be mmcblk0p1, but nothing appeared in /dev/ or dmesg. hdparm -z /dev/mmcblk0 yielded no improvement.

I ejected the card (physically, not eject /dev/[etc]), and tried to remove the mmc modules - mmc_block and mmc_core were in use and wouldn't unload, but sdhci unloaded. I tried reinserting the card, and syslogd wrote the following to every terminal:
[13158.204000] Disabling IRQ #18

The following appeared in dmesg:

And my IPW card stopped functioning.

Needless to say, my MMC/SD reader was also not functioning, and removing/reinserting the card elicited no messages from dmesg.

I tried unloading and reloading the IPW driver, and received this for my troubles:

I tried a soft reboot of the machine, but the IPW card and SD reader were still inoperable afterward. Only after powering the machine off did they return to normal functionality.

Attached below will be the lspci -vvv output of these cards.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in advance!
